And it just shows what you can accomplish if you put your mind to it, I guess. Compare the store in the photo to a current Wegmans Monster Mart! PS: Look in the window; pies for 12 cents! I'll take a dozen, please! Quote

They claim Monroe Ave 1941 The company opens its ninth — and first suburban — store at 1910 Monroe Ave. in the Twelve Corners Shopping Center. Edited September 8, 2020 by SlimShady'sSpaceForce Quote

T&C Posted September 9, 2020 Author Posted September 9, 2020 Old people like Buicks? This 71 Riviera will change your mind... that is just one pretty car. It was like an art form back when, most of the cars nowadays pretty much look the same... very generic. 1 3 Quote

Cars of that make/era are not really my forte. Quote
Wacka Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Wegmans didn't come to Buffalo until around 1980 or later. The big stores were Tops, Super Duper. and Bells. 1 Quote
